Wonder Drug or Excess Stomache Acid?
I tried this product out as best I could. I waited until I would have a full 3 weeks to go to the gym religiously and eat properly. I then followed the dosage instructions to a tee. Unfortunately, I saw and felt very little effect from this supplement. It is a great concept, but it just didn't do anything for me. Not recommended...

It did not work for me at all
I followed the directions exactly as printed on the bottle. My weight has not changed one bit. What a disappointment.

Increase in energy, but to be effective must be combined with...
I did feel a nice boost in energy when using TwinLab Ripped Fuel Metabolic Accelerator. However, to effectively lose weight and gain muscle tone this would need to be combined with a proper diet (adequate protein) and exercise plan.

The good thing is that this did give me that extra boost to not feel so tired at the end of the day so it was easier to get on the treadmill and make some healthy choices for dinner.

All of the ingredients in this product I had used before, but taking a handful of pills can put a real damper on dietary supplementation, so this product helped to uncomplicate my complicated diet. The small bottle fits easily into my desk drawer or purse and although I can smell the cayenne in the tablet, it's not offensive in any way.

If I could make one suggestion to TwinLab it would be to make this a 30 day supply (60 tablets) rather than a 20 day supply. I seem to run out faster than I can remember to re-order.

Ok for what it is
This is an ok product...Understanding that the Twinlab's Ripped Fuel is not a diet plan, nor is it a substitute for the gym. You need to be spending time training to see results. It does what it says, more efficiently uses calories without overloading you with caffeine. I didn't notice any exceptional results, but like other health pills or vitamin sups, you use them to put the odds in your favor of increasing your health. This product seems less risky than other metabolic enhancers that use chromium picolinate, which could have more side effects than this product.

If, taken in the late evening it, may cause sleeplessness, but as you are to take one daily, before eating, you shouldn't eat hours before sleeping anyway. I suggest a pre-lunch dose. I haven't had any problems to speak of while using this product, it has caused any stomach problems for me, which was a major concern of mine after using other "burners" containing chromium picolinate caused severe abdominal cramping. I've had no ill effects to report.

I'm satisfied with the product, although I would not rule out experimenting with some other brands and variations.

No difference
It is very hard to review a product such as this one. Can I say I noticed a difference by taking this product? No not really. The product does not live up to its title.

Fast drying, doesn't stain.
This is the best self-tanner that I've tried yet, mainly because it dries fast (15-20 mins in my experience) and doesn't stain clothes or sheets. I bought the medium, but may have to try the deep. I'm trying to match some tan lines, and while this color comes close, it's not quite the right shade of tan... a little too orange and not enough brown. The shimmer is kind of cool and looks nice, but it gets on EVERYTHING, so I kind of wish it didn't have it. I might try the Gelee instead next time.

Works great
Goes on smoothly and streak free and leaves a really nice gold shimmer to your skin. I also think that the color is more natural looking than a lot of the self tanners on the market. Everyone is different but I for one really liked the scent, I also thought that the tanner didn't feel greasy at all and dried fairly quickly. Our humidity is around 100% right now so most everything takes a little longer than usual to dry.

One of the best, hands down
I have tried many, many self tanners and this one works wonders. Pros: Inexpensive, tinted for easier application, and streak free. The only drawback in my opinion is the smell but I have yet to find a self tanner that smells good. For those who complain of streaking, here's the solution: I recommend a good oil based exfoliating scrub, followed by lotion on feet, elbows, knees and neck then apply the self tanner and this wont happen.

I really like this stuff
I've been using another product and when I couldn't find it in the store, I bought this. I don't notice any odor at all, it goes on smoothly, the results are fast and the shimmer is subtle and nice. I've noticed no streaking and in my experience, it dries very quickly. I've found it best to apply it lightly over the course of several days for the best results. I am very pleased with it.

Always my fall back tanner
I have used this product many times and it is always my fall back when others let me down. It is oily, but that makes it easy to spread and correct mistakes. I use it at night before bed because it is a bit sticky but then shower in the morning. I am extremely pale and have sensitive skin but this works just fine for me. I don't use it on my face though so I am not sure how it would affect that. I have tried many cheap and expensive products and I still keep coming back to this one.
